Chapter Four
Reunited
Time passed. Six weeks to be exact. Belle and Mike were dating. Belle and I were friends. But we weren't best friends anymore. She told me about stuff, but it was still different. Alice kept reminding me that her vision of Belle at out house could still happen. I didn't think it would though. We still texted occasionally. We still talked on facebook. But it just wasn't the same. On the other hand, Belle and Alice were the best of friends. They were always on the phone talking about girl stuff.
"Why don't you ever invite Belle over?" I asked Alice one morning.
"I'm gonna prove to you that my vision of Belle being here with you can still come true without my involvement," she replied. She only spoke aloud for everyone else's benefit. They were curious aswell. When I got to school I searched for Mike's voice to see if he was with Belle – this was something I did every morning – but I couldn't find him. Then I saw Belle sitting on a seat behind a building, she looked really sad. I wondered what was wrong. I walked up to her and sat down.
"Are you okay?" I asked. I'd never seen her upset before. I couldn't bear to see her like this.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She said glumly. What had happened?
"What happened?" I asked.
"Nothing. It's just, well," she struggled to say the words, "Mike and I broke up," she said. Oh. She was upset because they broke up.
"Are you sure you're okay? Do you wanna talk about it?" I asked her again. Usually, humans – especially teenage girls – took break-ups seriously.
"I'm fine, but I don't really feel like talking. I just wanna get my mind of it," she admitted.
"Okay," I replied. We sat there for a bit, we were both quite early for school.
Then inspiration suddenly hit me. Alice wanted to throw a party, she'd move it up for Belle wouldn't she? Of course she would, she was Belle's best friend. A party is exactly what Belle needed to get her mind of Mike.
"Well Alice was planning on throwing a party, I'm sure she wouldn't mind moving it up a couple weeks," I said, breaking the long silence. Her face lit up immediately.
"Really?" she asked. I could tell she was already deciding exactly what she was going to wear. I smiled.
"Of course. And you know Alice, she could probably throw a party together overnight," I said, trying to cheer her up. She laughed.
"Your right," she said. "We'll talk to Alice about it at lunch, class is gonna start soon," she said as she glanced down at her watch.
"Yeah you're right," I said as I stood up. She looked up at me holding her hands out to me as she smiled sheepishly.
"Help me up?" she asked. I chuckled as I took her hands and pulled her up. She wobbled a bit and I steadied her. We must've been sitting here longer than I thought.
"Thanks," she said. I walked her to her class then walked to mine. I would've been late, but I sprinted to the building when I was sure none of the jiggers were watching.
At lunch, Alice was sitting at our usual small table in the cafeteria. She was bouncing up and down with excitement, she knew what Belle and I were about to ask her. Belle caught up with me before I could make it to the table, so this would be the first time Belle would sit at the Cullen table. Alice had sat at Belle's table before, but never the opposite. Alice composed herself before Belle could notice her happiness. When we sat down, Emmett started talking to Jasper about a football game tonight, while Rose sat back and filed her nails.
"Hey guys," Belle and I said at the same time, then we giggled.
What is she doing here? Rosalie thought. She still hadn't accepted Belle, but she'd have to sooner or later, and she knew it.
"So Alice, Edward and I were talking this morning. And I wanted to know if you could push the party you were planning up a few months? I need to get my mind of you know what," Belle said. Belle had told Alice about her breakup this morning in between classes, but didn't get a chance to ask about the party. Alice was beaming.
"Of course! We need to get planning. Where will we have it? What day? What time? Oh! What will I wear?" Alice gushed out. All of us – even Rosalie – laughed at her.
"Well I was thinking Saturday night, how about it?" Belle asked.
"Yes!" was all Alice could say. Belle, Alice and I talked about the party for the rest of lunch, Rose suggested a few things here and there aswell.
"But where will we have the party?" Belle asked as we got up to go to our next class.
"How about our house?" Alice suggested.
"Yeah. Everyone will come when they find out where it's gonna be. I'm sure their all just dying to see the inside of the Cullen house," Emmett joked.
"Actually, your absolutely right," Belle said.
"See, I'm a genius!" Alice said as she grinned.
"I think she was talking to Em, honey." Jasper said.
"Hmph," was all Alice said in return as she stalked of to her class.
"Bye Alice!" Belle called out as Alice walked off. Emmett and Jasper walked off, so it was just Belle and I walking to biology. This was the first time in a long time we'd walked to biology together. Belle and I talked about the party as we took our seats in the class room. We whispered every chance we could during class, but we weren't the only ones. I walked her to gym as we continued to discuss the party. For the first time in a while, it felt like we were back to being best friends. I hoped she felt the same way. Just as she was about to walk into the building, she looked at me.
"I've really missed you Edward," was all she said as she smiled at me.
"I've missed you too Bells," I said. She laughed, remembering that was my little nickname for her.
"I'll call you this afternoon," she said as she turned around.
"Yeah. Talk to you later," I said.
I was ecstatic through my next class. I couldn't believe it. She missed me! I knew it wasn't a good thing. In fact, I knew it was a very bad thing. She was in danger every second she was around me, and it didn't help that I wasn't the only one who craved each others company. But I was selfish. I was still happy. Emmett was dying to know why I was in such a good mood.
"Wait and see," I whispered so low that only he could hear. I smirked as he sighed, knowing I wasn't going to budge.
Alice, Emmett and I waited by the car for Rosalie and Jasper. We chatted about the party. I was starting to get sick of it, but every time I complained, Alice had said "Every second from now until then needs the party's undivided attention." But when Belle walked towards us and joined in on the conversation, I threw as much enthusiasm into it as possible. Emmett's thoughts were getting on my nerves. When Jasper and Rosalie arrived, Belle left and said she'd call me later. When we got home, Alice filled Esme in on the party details.
"Oh my!" was what Esme had said. She was happy we had a social life. Carlisle was fine with it. Jasper was going to have to hunt before the party though, he still wasn't sure if he'd be able to control himself in a room full of humans. But Alice had assured him he wasn't going to do anything, and that the house would be covered with our scent to divert the humans scent. Belle had called that afternoon and we talked for hours. Eventually, it was settled that Belle would come over Thursday afternoon to see what the party venue would look like. But Belle was a bad liar – even on the phone – and could tell that wasn't the only reason she wanted to come over. So Alice's vision was coming true. It took almost two months, but it was coming true. Alice tried to convince me that she wanted to come over to hang out with me, but I was fully convinced she came over to see what our house looked like, and to see Alice. She eventually gave up.
